Get Zofran (ondansetron) prescription online

Zofran is an anti-nausea medication, also known as an antiemetic. It is primarily used for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV), and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).

Zofran is no longer available in the United States, but it’s generic, ondansetron is still widely available. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Zofran in 1991 for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in patients 6 months and older. Ondanestron was FDA-approved in 1997 for adults and children aged 4 years and older. Off-label, Zofran is sometimes prescribed for morning sickness in pregnancy, motion sickness, vomiting associated with gastroenteritis, and nausea related to migraines.

Ondansetron comes in multiple forms, including oral tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and an intravenous (IV) form. Ondansetron oral tablets and disintegrating tablets usually start working within 1 to 2 hours of the first dose.

Zofran (ondansetron) is one of the most effective medications for preventing nausea and vomiting, especially during chemotherapy, radiation, and post-surgery recovery. But it is less effective for nausea associated with motion sickness.

Compazine (prochlorperazine) is an FDA-approved treatment for nausea that works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. It is often prescribed for nausea caused by migraines or vertigo. However, it can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and, in rare cases, movement disorders like tardive dyskinesia with long-term use.

Reglan (metoclopramide) helps with nausea by promoting gastric emptying, making it especially useful for individuals with gastroparesis or slow stomach emptying. While it can have fewer side effects than other nausea medications, it carries a risk of movement disorders, including tardive dyskinesia, particularly with prolonged use. Short-term use is recommended to reduce this risk.

Phenergan (promethazine) is another anti-nausea medication that blocks histamine and dopamine to reduce feelings of nausea and vomiting. It is particularly effective for motion sickness and nausea caused by vertigo or post-surgery recovery. However, it is highly sedating, which can be problematic for some. It may also cause dizziness, dry mouth, or low blood pressure.

Each of these medications is FDA-approved for specific uses. Zofran is approved for chemotherapy-induced, radiation-induced, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Compazine is approved for severe nausea and vomiting and the treatment of schizophrenia. Reglan is approved for nausea, vomiting, and gastroparesis. Phenergan is approved for nausea, motion sickness, and allergic reactions. All have some side effects, including drowsiness, dizziness, and movement disorders.
